The Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi) in Agrigento, Sicily, is a UNESCO World Heritage archaeological park featuring some of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the world, dating from the 6th to 5th centuries BC. Key structures include the remarkably intact Temple of Concordia, the massive ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus with its giant Telamons, and the Temple of Heracles, the oldest in the valley. The site also contains the Kolymbetra Garden, a lush citrus grove, and offers a significant look into ancient Greek architecture and history.

Plan your visit to stay in our rental and save a day to go visit this fascinating archeological park.

Pro Tip: in the summer visit the park in the morning then visit Ristorante Nodo Ammare that sits right on the ocean with views of Scala dei Turchi (Turkish Steps). ☀️🏛️🌊

One of our most enriching experiences as we travel is to immerse ourselves in a local cooking class. We have been fortunate enough to enjoy many over the years. Our last one in Florence last month was truly unforgettable. What an incredible meal we made!

Tell us.... What cooking classes have you had the pleasure of taking?
